Veilance took like seven years or something to develop their first gore-tex jackets, so yeah, I guess they perform for holding out rain. Although I would never go out hiking in for example their field jacket, as it's intended for "urban wear", which means biking around all year etc. Also, the drawstring that is supposed to regulate body heat is in normal outdoors jackets found near the sternum and at waist level, which is not the case for Veilance where it is located only...
